Here we have a look at a Swedish family in the 1920s. We see two interesting shots of a Swedish brother and sister taken in 1923 and 1924 respectively. The first snapshot shows Ingeborg and Holger Agerdal with their collie dog. Holger is about 11 and his sister Ingeborg about 8. They are obviously dressed for winter. Holger wears a woolen stocking cap, a heavy sweater, short trousers, long black stockings with woolen socks over them with heavy winter boots. Many Swedish children wore both socks and long stockings in winter time. We notice this same style in an early scene from Bergman's film, 'Fanny and Alexander'. Ingeborg is similarly dressed although we can't see her feet in this photo. This photo was taken in 1923 in Sweden, but we don't know the exact location. The second photo is a snow scene, taken about a year later (1924). The girl standing on the left is Margit Andersson. She is with her cousins
Ingeborg and Holger Agerdal. Inbeborg is about 9 in this photo, and her brother Holger about 12. All the children wear winter gear. Margit wears a short overcoat, wool cap, and long black stockings. Ingeborg is similarly clothed. Holger, now about 12, still wears short pants with black long stockings, but this time no additional socks with his boots. He seems to be wearing a leather cap with a peak. Their dog is also present. Notice the skis in the background on the snow and
what looks like a sled with a chair and ski-like construction.
